CasualKiss has been around for years and has changed ownership since it was initially created and operated as a free ‘Beta’ release for about 5 years before being bought by a company that initially monetized the site at $5 per month, but now gives memberships away freely with the ominous warning that they may re-institute the small membership fee. Regardless, it is a fairly popular site with many members using it’s generally standard dating site fare, with a great feature for its generally younger sexually liberal crowd that lets members get a quick date for the next 24 hours.
You’ll appreciate: Getting all the social features of a high-quality paid dating site at no cost, with the foreshadowing of future billing to come that keeps some element of riff-raff out. In addition to standard features such as email, blogging, searches, and other industry mainstays, the ability to hook members up with a live date within 24 hours is a great feature for people who would rather get to know someone in person than through the Internet.
You won’t like: Investing a lot of time into this site if they end up implementing their fee structure, and otherwise the site as little to offer above what other popular paid dating sites provide. For a free site, it doesn’t have quite as many members as PlentyofFish, and your selections may be sparse in some rural areas.
